This will help us in future to write a self test for mask mode. Also I think initial processing of mask should be done during format initialization, not before cracking.
OK. So maybe it should initially tell the maximum figure that may be used, and after init/reset it will tell the actual figure for this run? That would probably help fixing https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/328 too.
